i think you accidentally mixed up kovalev and ruslan in the resume list SAA.

they're not all russian and i'm not a fan of your soviet characterisation but i think kovalev is the best of them, however i've only watched gradovich twice.

Provodnikov is an exciting fighter but i think he's a little too flat-footed and defensively suspect to be rated as high as the other three.

1. Kovalev
2. Golovkin
3. Gradovich
4. Provodnikov

i think golovkin is the most popular fighter but also arguably the least proven. One potential limitation of golovkin is he doesn't back-up very fast when getting hit, he'll just absorb the shots. He'll probably get away with it at mw (possible exception of quillin) but at smw it's a dangerous tactic. When kovalev gets hit he backs up fast, his footspeed seems better.

^^^^^^this right here

1. Provodnikov -- Come on guys, he's the only one that's been in with proven fighters! Kind of one dimensional, but he has a PROVEN chin, and an ability to throw with his opposition.
2. GGG -- Has a pretty devastating record. Seems to be real. I'd like to see him skill checked and chin checked.
3. Kovalev -- Another devastating record. I really want to see him chin checked. Sometimes doesn't seem like to be touched. Could use a good skill check from a guy with power.
4. Gradovich -- Honestly, after some looking I only have hazy memories of the guy.

Both GGG and Kovalev have not much in the way of head movement and a tendency to go straight back. It's not like Provodnikov is a star in this area either, but you know he'll eat a brick to throw a brick. Kovalev and GGG might just be too pretty. For the record I like Provo, GGG, and Kovo, but I'm not sold on the latter two yet (but I want to be).

provodnikov, kovalev, ggg, and evgeny gradovich

how would you rank these russian/soviet fighters from best to worst??

How do you rank them in terms of boxing potential? Most people think these are the 4 hottest russian/soviet fighters in boxing outside the klitschko's so i'm curious about what you guys think of them.


I'm not really sure how i would rank them....they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

ggg
kovalev
provodnikov
gradovich

I only know the first three fighters. GGG is great in my opinion and I think he can beat anyone up to 168 pounds including Ward. I base this not so much on who he has defeated but the way he beats them. Kovalev is my pick for the best 175 pounder but I don't think he is as good as GGG and a fight with Stevenson would be an even fight between monster punchers. Ruslan can punch and take a punch and he is game. If he is not the best at 140 then he is very close to being the best.
